How to Make Brownies Without Cocoa Powder

Use Chocolate Instead of Cocoa

Melt dark or milk chocolate to get rich brownie flavor without cocoa powder.

Butter Adds Deep Flavor

Use melted butter to make brownies moist and soft with a classic taste.

Sweeten with Sugar or Brown Sugar

Brown sugar adds moisture and a slight caramel flavor to the brownies.

Add Eggs for Fudgy Texture

Eggs help bind the batter and give brownies their chewy center.

Flour in Small Quantity

Use less flour to keep brownies dense, not cake-like.

Vanilla Enhances Taste

A little vanilla extract boosts sweetness and overall flavor.

Bake Until Just Set

Do not overbake—slightly soft centers make perfect fudgy brownies.
